Komis for Skeptics I don't know how many people checked the link to the Gov't Archive for Komis. It described the 5 sub parallel zones of Komis. Here are the economic implications of the zones. Take into consideration I likely have no idea what I am talking about and it is all speculation.
It is determined thru historic production that the average head grades processed were 7.8 g/t. Ore grades were 6.27 g/t in the A Zone and 8.5 g/t in the C Zone. For average and eaze of calculation purposes, investors can go low side and use 6.5 g/t as the ore grade for the entire Komis Deposit. The specific gravity is the same as the EP Deposit of 2.74 kg/m3. Using these 2 numbers and the strike dimensions investors can determine tonnages, grams, and ounces.
Zone A is described as 30 to 40m strike length, 80m depth, and even though the zone is said to be 18m at surface, is described as having a 5m width.
How many tonnes of ore and more importantly how many ouncesof gold does that equivilate?
Tonnes of Ore: 30m X 80m X 5m = 12,000 m3 X 2.74 kg/m3 = 32,880 Tonnes
Grams and Ounces of Gold: 32,880 tonnes X 6.5 g/t = 213,720 grams divide by 31 = ~7,000 oz
Zone B is described as 70m strike length, 70m depth, and a 3m width.
Tonnes of Ore: 70m X 70m X 3m = 14,700 m3 X 2.74 kg/m3 = 40,278 tonnes
Grams and Ounces of Gold: 40,278 tonnes X 6.5 g/t = 261,807 grams / 31 = ~8,700 oz
Zone C is described as 100m strike length, 140m depth, and a 8m width.
Tonnage: 100 X 140 X 8 = 112,000 X 2.74 = 306,880 tonnes (the main zone lucky it was Zone A with the low grades)
Gold: 306,880 X 6.5 = 1,994,720 / 31 = 66,000 oz
Zone D 75m strike length, 110m depth, and 3m width
Tonnage: 65,815 tonnes
Gold: ~14,000 oz
Zone E 25m strike length, 140m depth, 3m width
Tonnage: 28,770 tonnes
Gold: ~6,000 oz
Total Tonnage: In all likelihood the tonnages from historic mining should be subtracted.
474,623 - 120,500 tonnes = 354,123 total remaining tonnes
Total Gold: Same for gold. ~101,700 - 29,000 oz = 71,700 total remaining oz
Use the gov't archive link to see if these estimates are too high

So using the 354,123 tonnes and a mining rate of 300 tpd. I would speculate Komis to have ~1110 days or 3 years worth of production ore.
It should be added that the Komis Zones are not necessarily limited by what the archive information states. The Phase 1 drilling program by Golden Band offers encouragement of continued length and depth.
The multiple intersections and grades of the ~300m deep holes KO-10-07 and KO-10-08 testing the down-dip extension (continued depth) confirm the high grade ore continues and is open at depth on at least one of the 5 zones. And by the intersection on KO-10-08 of 4.99 g/t over 7.02m, I would speculate that hole was testing the C Zone (zone with an 8m width). Continue looking at the intersections on that hole - high grade intersections at 175m, 185m, 260m, 270m!!

I am fairly certain I don't recall any previous drilling by Golden Band on the Komis Deposit. But looking back on the 2002 Tech Report on Sedar there is a History of Exploration of ~361 holes from 1960 to 1995. But the deposit was likely tested no greater than 175m below surface as the deepest average program was 49 holes totalling 6,841m. Therefore the 2 deep holes drilled by Golden Band are extremely significant.
As for the strike length it must be open as well considering the 3 holes - KO-10-04, KO-10-05, KO-10-06 - were said to test the western extension of the strike. Believe me, your guess is as good as mine in regards to which zone was tested. But I know I liked the multiple intersections from depths as shallow as 20m to as deep as 250m.
That's about it for my speculative B.S. in regards to Komis.
